I would like to create my own list which consists only nested numbering like this:

1.1 AAA 1.2 BBBB 1.3 CCCC

When I use 

\begin{enumerate} \begin{enumerate}[label*=.\arabic*,leftmargin=*,labelsep=2ex] \item First section \dotfill 3 \end{enumerate} \end{enumerate}

I get error that \item is missing (of course it is correct, but I do not want to have main number only nested). How to improve this?

  • Please clarify what the first "1" in "1.1" stands for: Is it a numeral determined by a higher-level ("parent") enumerated list, is it some (more or less) randomly chosen numeral, is it something that should be hardcoded prefix, or something else still? Please advise. Commented Oct 22, 2017 at 11:50
  • The label* is of no use here if there is not an \item of the parent list (i.e. outer list) so far Commented Oct 22, 2017 at 11:51
  • Ok, so I just must use label=1. to define point Commented Oct 22, 2017 at 11:53

There is no need to nest at all (or writing the list manually)

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{enumitem} \begin{document} \begin{enumerate}[label=1.\arabic*,leftmargin=*,labelsep=2ex] \item First section \dotfill 3 \end{enumerate} \end{document}
